Newly Discovered Oxygen Reaction Existed in Primitive Atmosphere, Sheds Light on Origin of Life
Scientists have uncovered a new way oxygen could form in carbon dioxide-rich atmospheres without the involvement of life. The discovery, led by researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, shows that a reaction between helium ions and CO2 can produce molecular oxygen. This process challenges traditional methods of life detect...

NASA's Perseverance Rover Finds Diverse Set Of Organic Molecules On Mars
Organic molecules are the key building blocks of life on Earth that are made primarily of carbon and hydrogen and often other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur.

Plasma-Based Method Utilises Carbon Dioxide on Mars to Make Oxygen
A team of researchers has produced a new plasma-based method through which the resources available in the Martian environment can be utilised to make oxygen. The method would not only allow astronauts to breathe on the planet during future Mars missions, but could also help make fuel, building materials, and fertilisers there.

NASA Extracts Breathable Oxygen From Thin Martian Air
NASA has logged another extraterrestrial first on its latest mission to Mars: converting carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere into pure, breathable oxygen, the US space agency said.

In A First, NASA's Perseverance Rover Makes Oxygen On Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover keeps making history. The six-wheeled robot has converted some carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere into oxygen, the first time this has happened on another planet, the space agency said Wednesday.

Mars Likely to Have Enough Oxygen to Support Life: Study
Up to now, it had been assumed that the trace amounts of oxygen on Mars were insufficient to sustain even microbial life.

Mars Likely To Have Enough Oxygen To Support Life, Finds Study
Salty water just below the surface of Mars could hold enough oxygen to support the kind of microbial life that emerged and flourished on Earth billions of years ago, researchers reported Monday.

NASA's Inflatable Greenhouse Could Feed Astronauts on Mars
"The new approach uses plants to scrub carbon dioxide, while providing food and oxygen," said Ray Wheeler, lead scientist at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.

Manganese Oxide Indicates Mars Was Once Earth-Like
NASA's Curiosity rover has observed high levels of manganese oxides in Martian rocks which indicates that higher levels of atmospheric oxygen once existed on Red Planet.
-
Atomic Oxygen Detected in Martian Atmosphere
Atomic oxygen affects how other gases escape Mars and therefore has a significant impact on the planet's atmosphere.

Mars Mission: Atomic Oxygen Detected In Martian Atmosphere
Scientists have detected atomic oxygen in the Martian atmosphere for the first time since the last observation 40 years ago.
